Description:
Not all olive oils are created equal. Life Extension's unfiltered, cold-pressed California Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from olives hand-picked at the peak of ripeness and milled within hours of harvest. Our olive oil has a concentration of over 500 mg/kg of naturally occurring olive polyphenols. Heart-healthy olive oil polyphenols. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids (primarily oleic acid), which is less susceptible to oxidation than other types of fatty acids, and is an underlying reason for olive oil’s abundant health benefits. A study found that the intake of two tablespoons of olive oil daily improved markers of cardiovascular health. And potent antioxidant compounds called polyphenols contribute many of olive oil’s beneficial effects. Hydroxytyrosol, for instance, is a polyphenol found in olive oil that has been shown to promote cardiovascular health.
